<p>Dear all users,</p>
<p>Warm Greetings!</p>
<p>I have been calculating the formation energy for the double-cation perovskite system, FA(1-x)Cs(x)PbI3. I have taken x to be 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, 0.875, and 1.</p>
<p>Out of these compositions, x=0.75 variable-cell relaxation calculation is not converging. I am sharing my input file below:- </p>
